I've said before that I dislike ugly things. Hence my depression when I was confronted with these disappointing thick plastic black bindings when I had Mayi's new e-book 5K Sales in 365 Days spiral bound. It was my fault as I assumed they would use thin metal coil bindings and didn't ask before paying for it. It may seem ridiculous but it made the book much less appealing to me. Those black things were getting on my nerves.

"Difficulties are made to be overcome" — that's Miss Lemon's motto (Poirot's secretary). It's usually quite easy to find domestic solutions to this kind of problems so after getting rid of the coil bindings, I tried binding the book using a piece of ribbon I found in the back of a drawer. I used a sort of blanket stitch (trial and error rather that perfect stitching) and it worked!

By the way, 5K Sales in 365 Days is all about creating and selling digital products and from what I've read so far, it seems excellent. I'll do a full review once I've finished it.
